A motorist alleged that a Mercedes-Benz driver and his parents ganged up on her and her four-year-old son in a carpark dispute on April 20.
Stomper JK said she was traumatised by the incident that took place in the i12 Katong carpark at about 4.10pm.
The incident occurred when she was trying to park her car, but another vehicle was blocking the lot. “Hence, I moved a short distance against traffic in an empty lane to position my car to park safely,” recounted the Stomper.
She said the Mercedes driver was trying to leave the carpark, but she was in his way. “He didn’t want to wait while I parked,” said JK.
“He had driven up so close to me that I had to do seven to eight three-point turns to park. He got angry that I was too slow and honked his horn.

“When I responded briefly with my horn and waved to ask him to reverse to give me space to move my vehicle, he escalated by shouting, exiting his vehicle and challenging me to step out.”
The driver “very angrily” accused her of parking illegally, said the Stomper, who acknowledged that she should not have gone against the flow of traffic, calling it a “poor judgment call” on her part.
“That said, there was another car blocking the lot, which made it impossible to access the space normally,” she explained. “I’m not denying that it wasn’t the correct way to park.”
